04:14 pm - New officeI entered my new office this morning, and took a picture of it (because everyone needs to have a picture of their office, right?)

My new desk

But the best part, of course, is not what the desk looks like (the clutter that's on it is work left over from my predecessor, who did all he could to ensure that he didn't leave work unfinished, but was just overwhelmed. . . only the white mug and the blue pen are mine), or the old-school pencil sharpener, or the bookshelves, or even the window, but rather what else this office comes with:

A real door that I can close!

Eventually, this office will look more like it's "mine," but until then, I have a lot of paperwork to go through and finish/fix.Current Location:Southeast of DisorderCurrent Mood:optimisticCurrent Music: "Livin' It Up", -JB

Thanks. When the stadium renovations started and the Lantern printed photos of the scoreboard going down (a scoreboard I remembered them first putting up when I was a kid), the middle photo looked so unusual that I had to save it.

Welcome to the world of us bureaucrats-with-doors, although yours has a frickin' window, damn! Oh well, at least mine's bigger (insert obvious jokes here), and has lady_bell and skylark913 in it at some points throughout the week. :)

If you stay in an office long enough - it will be burned into your brain years later. I can still put myself to sleep remembering all of the offices that I had over my years of working. The best one was next to the men's room. I worked at the FED - aka big money temple in D.C., with marble walls, etc. Sound travels so well through marble.

Worst was the Rabbit Warren at the Watergate, yes that Watergate aka Break in Place by Nixon's bag men. The place was hot yellow and hot pink walls. With battleship blue for cubbies. The Warren was just that. Nobody could find anyone else, nor give coherent directions.

Bwahaha, I have an office with a door I can shut too! Mine's better than yours, though, because it contain things like giant wicker baskets of plastic eggs and posters of MEATLOAF on the wall!

I also have this bizarre, unnecesarily fancy old-timey chair.. it's a wheely office chair, but it's shaped sort of like a high-backed, small-armed arm chair with this amazing floral pattern on it. Ohhhh man.

I wish I had an office with a door. I've shown you my cube though, but even if I got promoted and someone left I would probably still be sharing an office with someone, and the way we're hiring people there won't be much room for that either. At least I get really good views if I stand up and walk around.
